Game Overview:
Saints Row is an open world action-adventure game developed by Volition and published by Deep Silver.
It is the fifth mainline entry in the series overall, but also serves as a complete reboot and establishes a new continuity.
The reboot might have been the worst-performing game when it comes to sales in the Saints Row franchise.
However, publisher Deep Silver was reportedly not sold on the pitch, leading to the project becoming a franchise reboot.
Saints Row and Red Faction developer Volition has been shuttered, but its two biggest IPs still seemingly have a future ahead of them.
Less than a year on from being shifted from Deep Silver's label to Gearbox, the studio has now been shuttered effective immediately.
The trio of games will be free to claim for all PlayStation Plus subscribers from September 5 to October 2.
Volition's reboot of the open-world series will reportedly be available for subscribers, per renowned leaker billbil-kun.
The DLC sees The Boss and the Saints defending The DustFaire from the Frostlanders in five new quests with new weapons and vehicles.
The open world title's PC version has been exclusive to the Epic Games Store since its release last year.
The open world title's third and final expansion will bring new story missions, a new open world district, and more.
The second of Saints Row's three planned DLCs brings four new playable characters, as well as a solo horde mode.

Since its launch in August last year, the open world title has been available on PC exclusively via the Epic Games Store.

Volition has announced the release date for the first expansion coming to Saints Row.
The first expansion is The Heist and The Hazardous in May, which adds new campaign missions, weapons, vehicles, and cosmetics.
Embracer Group CEO Lars Wingefors has previously said Saints Row is unlikely to be as great a return on investments as previously anticipated.
Embracer Group also confirms that the open world title has "performed in line with management expectations in the quarter."
The update adds a voice pitch slider, seven new garage locations, over 50 vehicle customization save slots, and much more.
It's expected to go live by November end and contains PS5 DualSense support, rebalanced encounter and "tons more improvements."
Volition is also working on free new "gameplay experiences" and areas to explore in Santo Ileso along with more quality of life updates.
The update contains "over 200 bug fixes and stability upgrades." It will also increase challenge rewards, improve vehicle management, and more.
Saints Row, having launched to middling reviews and sales, has been called a polarising release by Embracer Group CEO Lars Wingefors.
Marvel's Spider-Man also so a massive boost thanks to its PC release, while on the hardware front, the PS5 was the best-performing platform.
